truly at a loss for words. nesma @nesmamomen has been fundraising on this website since fucking march and is so tantalizingly close to her goal yet shes only bringing in $5-$10 every couple of hours or so. please take this burden off her shoulders after she has already lost everything
[plain text: Save four families in Gaza now! end plain text.]
I’ve already made two posts about these families so far linking to their GoFundMe’s, but despite the traction, that didn’t equal much sizeable progress.
The families in question are:
Momen Al Ostaz’s family: a family of 10 people in the Gaza Strip, trapped without food, water, or proper supplies and most of them require some form of medical intervention due to stress or diseases like Hep C caused by poor conditions. His campaign is at €16,634 out of its €70,000 goal. (#125 on the vetted spreadsheet)
Abdullah Ameen’s family: Abdullah is a man living currently in the Nuseirat camp with his family of four - him, his wife, his son, and newborn daughter. He has later amended his campaign to evacuate his sisters and his mother from Gaza as well. His campaign was created back in late April, but has still not reached its goal of €35,000, only having raised €5,223. (#134)
Doaa’s family: Doaa is a Gazan woman whose family is currently trapped in Khan Yunis. Her campaign is attempting to raise enough money to evacuate her sisters and their families into Egypt creating a total of THIRTEEN family members that need to get through the border. The campaign is way below its goal, having only raised $3,361 of 65,000. (Shared by 90-ghost)
Mahmoud Nedal’s family: A family of 6 - him, his older brother, his parents, his 6-year-old sister, and 2-year-old brother. The campaign’s raised only $3,279 of its 50,000 goal. (#123)
These campaigns are all extremely urgent! These people are trapped in inhospitable conditions without proper access to the essentials to life! Can you imagine having to put you and your family’s lives into the hands of strangers who have only ignored you?
The GoFundMe’s listed here have not garnered any traction whatsoever, and donations have been quite stagnant. I intend to not let this happen by whatever means I have.
Let’s raise up to 8,000 for the last three campaigns and raise 4,000 for the first within the next 5 days!

I understand this goal may not seem manageable, but it absolutely is! This user base has helped raise 10k, 4k, 6k for certain campaigns within a few days, I don’t see why this would be any less manageable.
This is a call to action! Do NOT leave these people behind! Donate whatever you can and share, especially if you can NOT donate!
Their kids and their families should not have to live in squalor and deplorable conditions. Do not look away.

tag list under the cut (lmk if you don’t wish to be tagged):
my uncle says the thing he was most excited about after the dictatorship ended was finally watching the clockwork orange bc it was a banned movie and he was sooo excited and when he finally watched it it was just mid. idk why i think thats the funniest criticism you could have about a movie. genocidal regime in my country banned this movie and it wasnt even worth it
